First-hand account from New Orleans

In her blog California Writer, poet Julia Stein has copied and pasted an article by Jordan Flaherty, a New Orleans union organizer and editor of Left Turn. In the article gives a powerful and beautiful account of escaping from a house by boat, the conditions of chaos in an emergency camp, and of life in New Orleans as he has known it.

The California Writer link above is to the main page of the blog -- the article, posted Sept. 4, is titled "News from Inside New Orleans."

I like Julia Stein's poetry much, and I visit her blog often.
